Just got home from Devin Townsend. Man I wish he wasn't an opener. He needs to come back headlining.
An hour isn't enough.

It's $40; worth it to see him and leave, which is what I did.Aggie87 said:62strat said:

If go see him in a minute if he were touring solo/headlining.
Have no interest in Dream Theater whatsoever though.
How was this? Never seen them and love a lot of their music and got offered tickets but couldn't make it.Wicked Good Ag said:
Tears for Fears in Woodlands tonight
Should be hot as hell and will be somewhat tough for me to see based upon circumstances but will hopefully end up be a good evening for me in the long run

I heard a radio spot from Toyota Center that Greta Van Fleet is headlining a show there.
Can they sell enough tickets to justify a venue of that size?
everytime I go to Pepsi center in denver I see the scrolling ads for concerts there and wonder the same thing. How are bands of this status playing an aRena?cajunaggie08 said:maroon barchetta said:

I had the exact same thought. They had a good sized crowd in Sugar Land 4 years ago but I didn't think they grew their fan base enough in that time to make the jump to Toyota Center. Per the ticket sales site, a lot of the lower bowl and all of the floor is sold/given away while the upper sections barely have any tickets sold. A very odd situation for sure.

I'd say about half the time these types bands come through Toyota Center they close the upper deck. Had Smashing Pumpkins tickets upstair there a few years back and they moved us downstairs the day of the concert to close the upper deck.62strat said:everytime I go to Pepsi center in denver I see the scrolling ads for concerts there and wonder the same thing.

recent examples; paramore, Nathanial rateliff, panic at the disco, Florence + machine, one republic, my chemical romance.
These seem like large theater bands at best.
yes. paramore has a single 1x platinum album from 2007, other old albums barely gold and recent albums not even 6 figure sales. Nathaniel rateliff not even a gold record. MCR, ok they had a 4x plat record.. that's alot. albeit almost 20 years old. but they have the reunion factor going.Bunk Moreland said:
Yall are shocked that those acts can still sell 10-15k seats in a major city?
They were great on the 80s cruise! This is one of my all time favorite pictures while we were watching another show- the current Vixen lineup minus the drummer and add in Downtown Julie Brown!JamesPShelley said:

I saw them last round and loved it! A FB friend posted video and they sounded great as expected.maroon barchetta said:

I'll be there for this show as well. Saw Bruce back in February in Houston and it was fantastic. I'm really excited.Ag MD 84 said:

ZZ Top
Skynyrd
Uncle Kracker
Last night at CWM Woodlands Pavilion
Good show. Did not know Uncle Kracker at all except for thinking most of his songs were actually Kid Rock songs. His band is good.
Skynyrd surprised me. I know there is only one original member left but most of the others were not spring chickens and have been with them awhile. Those guys jammed and were a really tight unit. Very well done.
ZZ Top was what I saw in October last year. Billy is somewhat of a caricature of himself at this point and they pace some of the songs a little slower but he still makes his guitar do what we hope he will make it do.
It was freaking hot, especially with the show starting at 6:30pm. I know those old dudes had fans on the stage but they had to be sweating pretty good.

Did it seem like ZZ Top ended very abruptly?

A bit.
They were pushing towards that 11pm cutoff time. They could have fit some other songs in it Billy had not noodled around on his guitar as much and chattered about nothing in particular trying to be funny. But that's about how many songs they played in October so not surprising.
